Pasta

I love making pasta! I don't buy pasta anymore, I solely make it at home. At first I started out rolling out the pasta, but I couldn't get them thin enough. Thick pasta is good, but too thick of pasta isn't. My husband got me a pasta press attachment for my KitchenAid. Here is the recipe I use.


Homemade Pasta

3 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs
1/4 - 1/2 c. water

Put the flour, salt, and eggs in the mixing bowl. Start the mixer, and slowly add the water. You don't want the dough super wet. With normal bread dough you want it all stuck together. However, with this one you will stop every once in a while and press the dough together. If it sticks, you are done. It will still be flaky, but stick together. You can then roll it out to less than 1/8 of an inch then cut into strips and pieces with a pizza cutter, or put it in your pasta press.

You can let it dry, or throw it straight into boiling water.

Enjoy!
